  When I was a believer, I doubt I would have taken a blood transfusion.

  But after 1976, I realized I had to distance myself and control what I allowed into my brain.

  I had seen and heard enough by 83 to say I quit and would never go back.

  I dont think I would have taken a transfussion until I quit.

  But I realized by going to the meetings I was being a bad example husband and father to my wife and son.

  By going to the meetings I was condoning dangerous bullshxt and there is enough bullshxt in the world without going out of the way to bring it into the home and exposing my family to it.

  As a good and obedient Dub, If a handful of men living in Brooklyn didn't change their minds I would have spent years on dialysis and dealing with all the complications that came with it The quality of life between dialysis and a transplant is the difference between being imprisoned and freedom. I can’t believe I accepted whatever they said without question, but I did.

  Well, THEY speak for God, silly. God can change His mind anytime he wants!

  When I went in for surgeries I made no mention of being a Witness. Truth is no one would have known. My wife was out of the loop, and I would have requested no visitors for a while. The chances of anyone finding out is actually quite small. JWs are scared because they believe "Jehovah's eyes are upon them".

  No. Never. Didn't matter if nobody else was around - God was watching and I would have done nothing to dishonor him according to what I was taught.

  I always had in the back of my mind that I would take a transfusion if necessary, and if I got DF'd, I'd repent and return. At least I'd be alive.
